Jay Davis
1975, Charleston, USA. Lives and works in New York |
| The recognizable elements of landscape and architecture
that
characterized Jay Davis' works in the past are here replaced by
ambiguous structures and forms. Increasingly vibrant color and frenetic
compositions bring to mind psychedelia, an association Davis encourages
by coaxing the viewer to see faces and objects in his ricocheting
stripes and expanding patterns. What is ostensibly abstract becomes
the foundation on which to construct a personal narrative.
